Get Paid to Serve Your Community

If you enjoy spending time with your neighbors and meeting new people, sign up to be a poll worker today!

Louisiana has been fortunate to have dedicated election poll workers who have served for years; however, we must recruit and train thousands of poll workers across the state every election year and you can help! Your local election officials can teach you everything you need to know to do the job.

You just need to meet a few requirements to be selected. You must:

be a registered voter in Louisiana;

be a registered voter who does not need assistance; and

attend a course of instruction as required.

In addition, you may serve if you are at least 17 years of age and a high school senior. Trained poll workers can earn up to $200 an election, or $250 an election when serving in an administrative capacity. The job isn’t complicated, and anyone who has worked at the polls will tell you it’s one of the most rewarding ways you can help your community. Your community will thank you!

It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

1. You’ll attend a short training class to learn how to be a poll worker. Then, you’re ready to go to work.

2 . On Election Day, you’ll help set up the polling place before your friends and neighbors arrive to vote.

3. Finally, you’ll check voters in at the polling place and allow them to cast their votes. Once the day is done, you and your fellow poll workers will close the polling place.
